“Some people on the island of Taiwan hype that the island is different from Afghanistan, and that the US wouldn't leave them alone. Indeed, the island is different from Afghanistan. But the difference is the deeper hopelessness of a US victory if it gets itself involved in a cross-Straits war. Such a war would mean unthinkable costs for the US, in front of which the so-called special importance of Taiwan is nothing but wishful thinking of the DPP [Democratic Progressive Party] authorities and secessionist forces on the island. In the past two decades, the Kabul government cost over 2,000 US soldiers, $2 trillion, and the majesty of the US against the 'bandits.' But how many lives of US troops and how many dollars would the US sacrifice for the island of Taiwan? After all, the US acknowledges that 'there is but one China and that Taiwan is part of China.' Will the US get more moral support from within and from the West if it fights for the secession of Taiwan than it did during the Afghan War?”

“Since the DPP [Democratic Progressive Party] gained power in 2016, it has always insisted on a Taiwan secessionist stance, and refused to admit that both the mainland and Taiwan belong to the same China, so the political basis for Taiwan to attend the WHA [World Health Assembly] no longer exists.”

“The two sides of the Strait need to restore or rebuild a common political foundation. Recognition of the 'consensus' [1992 consensus] would be necessary for Tsai to realize her campaign promise of maintaining the 'status quo' in cross-strait relations. Tsai [Tsai Ing-wen] and the DPP [Democratic Progressive Party] have tarnished the 1992 consensus by equating it with the 'one country, two systems' framework. The Republic of China Constitution does not allow for two Chinas, or one China and one Taiwan. If Tsai would clearly affirm this there could be room for cross-strait dialogue.”

“After accepting problematic pork and dumping radioactive water, what do we get from that? No one from all the relevant authorities dares to speak up. Is Taiwan really less important, or does the DPP [Democratic Progressive Party] not pay attention to the health and safety of people? … Does an alliance with the US and Japan mean we have to put up with the US or Japan doing whatever they want?”

“The 'Taiwan card' is a good card for the US so it will fully take advantage of the island of Taiwan to serve its own strategic interests. The US will improve its relations with Taiwan as much as possible, but it will never break the ceiling to regard the island as a 'country'. The US' new guidelines are just a move to provoke the Chinese mainland and further enchant the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) to make it feel good. The new guidelines cannot be seen as a "turning point" in US relations with Taiwan. Only when the US completely tears its face with the Chinese mainland and transforms its relationship with the island of Taiwan from an unofficial relationship to an official one, can it be called a structural change - now it is just an act of harassment.”

“The reason behind the tensions and large-scale PLA [People's Liberation Army] exercises around Taiwan is the collusion of Taiwan secessionists and the US, which has been challenging the one-China principle. It is the US and DPP [Democratic Progressive Party] authorities that have been changing the cross-Straits status quo, and the PLA had to respond. In extreme circumstance when Taiwan secessionists act to trigger the secessionism button, a large-scale confrontation or even war could break out, and such situation is to be forcefully imposed on the people on both sides of the Straits by the US and Taiwan secessionists. That is why the PLA must effectively deter them and maintain peace.”

“The DPP [Democratic Progressive Party] government has done a very good job in containing the COVID-19 pandemic. But as an island nation, we should restore international trade with other countries and regions, once vaccines become available around the world. After signing the RCEP [Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership] last month, Chinese Minister of Foreign Affairs Wang Yi immediately visited Tokyo. It was China’s tactic to use this free trade body to isolate Taiwan in global trade. This is a severe test for Taiwan, and we must let the US and other trading partners know China's aims, that talks on economic links is just a facade, as China’s main political aim is to isolate Taiwan.”

“The DPP has governed the nation for five years, and Tsai is in her second term. Is she telling people now that all the money and resources her administration has spent in the past five years was so that the nation would join an unimportant economic pact [Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership]?”

“Recently, the Trump administration is still playing the Taiwan card to provoke the Chinese mainland, as [US] Secretary of State Mike Pompeo even openly said 'Taiwan has not been a part of China.' This kind of encouragement from a US administration toward Taiwan secessionism is unprecedented. So if Beijing does nothing in response, the atmosphere created by Pompeo will grow. To release the message of formulating a blacklist is a countermeasure from the mainland against the anti-China acts of the Trump administration. To these DPP members and secessionists, the mainland authorities want to say 'I am warning you. Behave yourself. I can read your every move and hear your every word. Maybe now I can't touch you, but I will give you a tag.' This will surely affect and deter those secessionists.”

“Therefore it is long overdue to rectify nation's name as 'Taiwan.' Only by doing so can we establish full normal diplomatic ties with the US and other countries We request President Tsai Ing-wen and the DPP leadership to declare to the world that we are the 'Taiwan' nation, and will have no claims to territories under China's governance, and will draft a new constitution to reflect the current political reality.”

“The US has consistently treated Taiwan as a chess piece to contain China, and the DPP is going along with it. They [the DPP] are acting as a toy in the US’ anti-China strategy, and must pay an increasingly high price for it. If they insist on going down this path, then sooner or later a PLA fighter plane will fly over Taiwan to declare sovereignty.”
